In modern times we have men taking the surname of their wife, which could have been a linguistics disaster if Jamie Kah had decided to instead marry fellow jockey Wayne Hill.

VOTE straight BLUE Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response: "A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: * Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. * You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created? If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

Fairly sure I read somewhere that Snazzytavi had a temperature this morning, and Orchestral camp had other targets in mind

In the middle of a Winter's frost followed by a Hailstorm for good measure. Those in Racing and who work with Animals after all are about been outdoors unlike his life indoors at Sky City aka Metropolis. Does any one know if he owns a pair of Skellerups?

Just having a browse through Papers Past NZ archives using various keywords including "New Zealand Thoroughbred" and came across an article mentioning Fay Richwhite, as in Michael Fay and David Richwhite were to sponsor a Million dollar race at Ellerslie back in that era. Does anyone know more background to this and why they pulled out of Sponsorship of the said Race? Benson (?) was CEO at the time. Where is he now? Is he still in the Racing Industry?
-
More than likely. Why didn't they simply give it to Daren? P.S. I am over the Industry bringing people in from the outside. Tell me the last one who was successful?

Say No More and Nomates, you are letting the "old timers'' down, not being able to keep up on something as important as Jamie's new surname. Didn't your wives take your name? LOL

A useless bit of trivia - Jamie Kah's last winner was New York Lustre and Jamie Melham's first winner was also New York Lustre.

It's noted he spent time working New South Wales "Clubs", Does anyone know if he is mates with Cameron George?

University academics advise Politicians with their "research" - students have for around 40 years now been using Computers to do their work and cheating by Copy / Pasting answers...no critical thinking. Oh for the days of Fire using Pine cones, fallen branches, a couple of coals and burning Rubbish to heat up the home. People in general, especially Politicians don't understand Rule of Law hence all of the World's messed up systems. Once upon a time everyone knew The Road Code which worked perfectly fine then along came the Data Scientists telling Politicians to tell us we must Save lives and stuffed up the working systems, just like Glass Milk bottles because the Dustman cut himself so we could no longer have them...

Wireless is what is known as what is now an old Wooden Radio either plugged into the wall or operated by battery to Broadcast information/ communications/ music - all advertising in its own way as advertising equals money! This is in the 1920's era when Electricity was a newer invention as previously people used Gas Lamps or Candles from Beeswax The Eiffel Tower was one of the first means of where Electricity/ Energy and Broadcasting operated through back in the 1870-1880's ERA of The Telegraphy / Telegraph Act Legislation and Telegrams era now we have a different form of Telegram and Text interestingly is the same number of Letters as Telegrams used to be Herr Hermann Honnef invented Wind Turbines back in the midst of the 1930's ERA based on the Eiffel Tower and Dutch Windmill on top...look him up in Papers Past and weep at the cost he said Energy would be and sheer height of them - he wouldn't have known any better back in that era unlike Scientists/ Physics academics who should know better today. Re Transport, Aeroplanes were designed on Flying Insects and Birds like Gulls Drones originally on Drone Bees/ Wasps....Submarine designs were originally based on the design of Marine animals like Dolphins and whales . We had Drones in our neighbourhood back in the 1970's believed to be operated by members of The Brethren Religion although could have been further afield by a relation of HJ Wells so we learnt all about his Novel ideas as children. NZ is a very small place, as is the world. It's a fun thing to look up what year certain words were first used in PPNZ and what context they originally were. We just looked up "Mr Rain" and "Rain-making" history - it goes back to Gelignite and Dynamite.
